Salagou Lake

The ‘Lac du Salagou’ (Salagou Lake) is an artificial lake with a surface area of nearly 2000 acres and a circumference of about 17 miles, not far from Clermont-l'Hérault.

Natural Languedoc Roussillon, South of France

A major feature of the landscape in the department of Herault, Lake Salagou has been fashioned by a succession of geological events. Originally built to provide irrigation, the lake is now a leisure site and tourist attraction.

Majestic red rocks (the so-called “ruffes”) tower above the waters, and there are great opportunities for mountain-biking, fishing, horse-riding and rambling. Stop off at La Lieude and discover the footprints left behind in the clay soil nearly 280 million years ago.
